Lean Procurement Canvas
With the Lean Procurement Canvas and Lean-Agile Procurement we provide for the very first time a tool and approach that respects agile values and practices during sourcing and/or sales.
For successfully going to market with a new business case, a strong team consisting of internal and/or external people is the foundation. However finding the right complementary people, partners, services or products isn’t easy and takes time. Current sourcing processes and approaches can’t cope with uncertainty and complexity of innovation, new strategic partners, etc.
